April 12, 2015 - Royal Philips will showcase solutions for streamlining the management and analysis of patient data for radiology, cardiology and pathology through seamless interactions with core hospital information systems, at HIMSS15, taking place
The Philips booth (#931) will feature six solutions areas addressing the biggest challenges facing Health IT executives today. The Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform is an open and secure, cloud-based IT infrastructure that supports the secure collection of all types of data related to health and lifestyle.
Imaging and informatics – By streamlining the management and analysis of patient data for radiology, cardiology and pathology through seamless interactions with core hospital information systems, health systems can balance clinical workflow, improving patient care and economic value.
Acute and general care – From centralized monitoring and a single point of interoperability, to clinician mobility and effective alarm management, technology is meant to help ease clinician challenges – not overwhelm them.
Enterprise telehealth – Leveraging telehealth-enabled clinical programs, patient data and computer-based algorithms, care teams can remotely monitor and consult to address patient populations across the health continuum and improve care by reducing costly readmissions.
Home monitoring – Senior patients and their caregivers want confidence and peace of mind to live safe, healthy and connected independent lives. Through a wearable medical alert service, seniors can get access to help when and where they need it when an emergency occurs.
Sleep and respiratory care – Gaining insights into consumer needs can lead to healthier patients and best practices. Addressing complex sleep conditions may be eased with a focus on informatics, data management and patient compliance.
